The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 23

Xander POV

I cussed under my breath because I found myself reading the same sentence on a report that I had been holding for the past 15 minutes. Why was Soraya hell bent on fighting me every single chance she got.

This morning had not gone how I had planned. I had planned to have breakfast with her and make her feel better about what had happened last night between her and Sofija. When I found the box of contraceptive pills she had left in the bathroom, i had coached myself not to react my usually normal way ordering her around, I understood why she was taking them even though I didn’t want her to. I wanted to fill the estate with our children.

I was running out of ways to show her that I cared for her, did she really not love me at all? I refused to believe that our escapades together were just her way of trying to satisfy her own needs like she put it. Frustration and anger were coursing through my veins, I was not used to people speaking like this to me, my words were deadly and people scrambled to make sure I was satisfied but ever since Soraya came back into my life, it was like she had the power to affect me and the people around me. But instead of putting her in her place, all I ever seemed to want to do was punish her in a different way, take her to bed and show her that in there I controlled her, her body, her pleasures, her m***s, her o*****s.

Just thinking about it aroused me. I cussed again under my breath and tried to concentrate on the report. There was a knock on my office door. Hector came in and looked at my frustrated face. He laughed very hard making me growl.

“Soraya or Sofija?” He asked. “Or is it both? I told you a few years back that you and your father indulged your sister’s every whim and that was spoiling her. Now she thinks she has a say in a lot of things around here.”

“I can handle Sofija, she can be put back in her place quite easily.” I said to him.

“So that grizzly look on your face has to do with Soraya? I told you that you catch more flies with honey.” He said and he continued to chuckle.

“I tried your way Hector, I actually went out of my way to try your way, instead of ordering her about I say please and I take her out and spend time with her but this woman is as stubborn as a mule, she keeps asking me questions I can’t answer and getting angry when I tell her that she has no business knowing about it.” I explained.

“That’s because you still act like you own her, Soraya is a strong woman that can fight her own battles. Heck she’s the only woman I know to slap the Xander Adamos and get away with it. Stacy says she wants to know what happened to Hera, just tell her Xander, she can take it.” He said to me.

“And risk her trying to run all the way back to Phoenix? I don’t want to replace myself holding her and her parents hostage, what if she tells them? I don’t want her to look at me like I failed to protect Hera and think that I will fail at protecting her and our son?” Just saying that irritated me, all these emotions that I was allowing myself to feel just for her and it wasn’t getting me anywhere.

“I think you should tell her, she came all the way to Greece without fighting you anymore and judging by the way she looked when you two walked into the drawing room last night, she is happy here and she loves you.”

“She swears she doesn’t love me, she’s taking birth control pills and told me she doesn’t want another child by me.” I informed him.

“That was probably said out of frustration, when Stacy is upset with me, the things that come out of her mouth are unsavoury” he said.

“Let’s just get this work done. I want this arms deal to be a smooth transaction. The Italians are already trying to steal this deal with the North Americans. Did you go over the delivery routes with the men? Clearing through customs will not be an issue, the issue will be guarding the merch until we get it to the North Americans.” I explained to him.

“We are not just going to be trying to keep that merch away from the Italians but the gang territories in Honduras. I still don’t understand why Alvarez wants us to deliver all the way to that warehouse, once we get the merch into the country, getting it to his warehouse should be his issue. This is a very dangerous mission for our men, we won’t be in a territory that we are used to.”

“I will replace a way, I always do.” I said to him.

Sofija’s POV

“Where are you taking Ajana?” My mother came into Ajana’s room as I was instructing the nanny to dress her in a pink double breasted ruffle trim belted trench coat over her, inside she had on a white t shirt tucked into a pink and grey plaid pleated skirt.

“I’m going out to tea with some friends, Ajana needs to learn how to be a proper lady mother. She spends all her time running around with those little boys acting like them. This morning she was stuffing her face with pancakes.” I scoffed. “How unladylike”

“Ajana is six years old. She needs to be a child, that is what children do Sofija.” My mother snapped at me.

“If you hadn’t let me spend too much time with my brothers and cousins then I wouldn’t have been so tomboyish and gotten bullied at school. The only girl that ever wanted to spend time with me at school was Hera. I learned how to be more lady like from her and her mother.”

“Children need to be left to play and enjoy their childhoods, not bullied into being their parents broken versions of perfectionists.” My mother retorted then instructed the nanny to take the clothes off Ajana. She grabbed a pair of red shorts and a t shirt and gave them to the nanny then took a pair of sneakers and put them on the bed.

“Ajana, Giagiá says go and play with Jovan and Kai, they are outside with Kai’s grandma painting. Do you want to paint?”

“Yes Giagiá.” She said said in a low voice as she looked at me. I rolled my eyes at her and she looked to the floor.

“You can go and catch up with your friends and leave this child to be! I don’t want to hear another word about this.” She exclaimed. She told the nanny to take Ajana to the other kids.

“Before you leave, I won’t have you causing trouble in your brother’s marriage. Do you know how hard it has been for Xander? I heard what you did last night.”

“Gosh did she come running to you too? Can she not fight her own battles?” I retorted.

“If you think your brother won’t kick you out of the mansion to protect her then you are not as smart as you think you are. She didn’t have to tell me anything, I have my eyes and ears in this house, I am still the madam of this house. If he kicks you out, I will support him.” She said to me.

“You won’t be madam for too long because soon you will kick the bucket like your husband then your sunshine daughter in law will take over.” I said vehemently.

She reached forward and slapped me across the face. I gasped and held my cheek.

“I will kick you out myself if you are not careful. I’m not one of your little friends.”

“You have always been so cold towards me, I never mattered to you! Daddy was the one that loved me.” I couldn’t help it but sulk.

“Your father spoiled you rotten, I kept telling him that he would ruin you and now he’s not here to see the damage he has done.” She turned around and walked out of the room. I couldn’t help but give a little scream out of frustration but then suddenly I got an idea. I was going to invite Maya, one of Xander’s ex girlfriends to the house for tea. If I gave her the impression that she still had a chance with Xander she would shoot her shot. That would definitely depress little miss sunshine.
